Chapter 67: Night Attack
After several stops to rest, and another night on the way, at dinner the next afternoon, the team arrived at the nameless valley that was still ten miles away from Tiantang Village, Yang Rentian sent a small number of guards to lurk and guard on the mountain ridge, and the large army hid in the valley to rest.
Camping at a distance of ten miles from the enemy was the standard distance of the ancient marching array, because the enemy's sentinels often set up hidden piles ten miles ahead.
After the team set up camp, Yang Rendi, who was in charge of opening the road, walked up to Yang Rentian and said with a worried face: "Big brother, it's not easy to fight in Tangzhai this day!" There were treacherous mountains and a wide line of sight, and we would be seen by them from miles away. There is a walled gate at the mouth of the narrow valley on the mountain, there are a large number of minions guarding, and the mountain is all about walking the cliff plank road, and it is absolutely impossible to storm it, as long as the stones are rolled down on the mountain, it is useless for us to wear the best armor, so the casualties will be great. Big brother, what do you say? ”
Yang Rendi is responsible for opening the road, but also to explore the enemy's situation, he took a few people to make up and lurk, carefully go out a few miles, inspect the terrain, this look at his heart is half cold, the terrain is too dangerous, the main peak occupied by the bandits is as high as more than 2,000 meters, the mountain is towering, only a winding mountain plank road seems to twist and turn straight to the peak, and the strong attack can not be beaten down at all. Therefore, after he returned, he immediately discussed tactics with Yang Rentian.
"Shhh Yang Rentian gasped when he heard this, the first time he led the army to fight, he stepped on such a hard bone, it was really unlucky.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Rentian said fiercely: "Now there is no other way, but to sneak attack the gate of the village with the help of the bandits' poor vision at night, if we can take the gate silently, then we can sneak up the mountain at night."
If the sneak attack on the walled gate fails, we will immediately take advantage of the chaos to storm the mountain, the night vision is not good, and the bandits' geographical advantage will also lose most of it, this is our only chance. ”
"Big brother, the casualties of the assault will be very large, if we pretend to be passing merchants and lead the bandits on the mountain down to rob, so that we can take the opportunity to make trouble, we will definitely be able to wipe out the bandits and fight on the flat ground, we have an absolute advantage, there should be no casualties." Yang Rendi had seen the terrain, he was not in favor of a strong attack, he thought of a plan to lure the snake out of the hole.
"No, no! You will startle the snake like that, it is impossible for all the bandits to come down the mountain to rob, as long as there are a small half of the bandits left on the mountain, we don't want to take Tiantang Village.
I've thought about it repeatedly, in fact we only have one chance to sneak attack, and as long as we alarm the bandits, we will never have another chance, especially during the day, and we will have nothing to do with the bandits who are already on high alert. Yang Rentian said his own considerations.
Yang Rendi listened to his eldest brother's words, thought about it carefully, and realized that his plan was full of loopholes, and he would really startle the snake. On the contrary, the eldest brother's plan seems to be risky, but it is the most likely way to take Paradise Village. So he sighed: "Big brother, you are older, and you think more comprehensively than me." ”
After listening to the words of the second brother, the corners of Yang Rentian's mouth, who had always been cold, also curled. Everyone needs the affirmation of others in order to prove their talents.
The discussion was set, and during the day the next day, because he was not in a hurry to fight Tiantang Village, Yang Rentian took a few younger brothers to quietly lurk near the gate of Tiantang Village to inspect the terrain.
The night is not only bad for the bandits, in fact, you can't see clearly on your own side, so inspecting the terrain is the most important and necessary step.
After coming back, Yang Rentian discussed tactics with a few brothers, and after a long discussion, Yang Rentian officially issued a combat order: "Renyu, Renzhou, Renhuang, the three of you lead the way to sneak near the gate at night, if the minions find out, attack quickly, if not, you try to eliminate the minions guarding the gate."
Remember, as long as you alarm the bandits, don't fight, keep rushing forward, kill all the bandits you see on the road, don't stop, go straight up the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, do not stop, but rush up quickly with your shield, and when you reach the top of the mountain, move quickly with every arrow you shoot, and do not stay in one place for too long.
With the three of you taking the lead, you should carry forward the style of not being afraid of death, fight and rush, and rush to the top of the mountain, you will guard the entrance of the passage and let the people behind rush in, do you understand? ”
"Got it!" The three Renyu brothers made a loud promise together.
Yang Rentian nodded, then turned his head and ordered Yang Renri: "Renri, we will all live in the mountains and rush, except for helping you eliminate the bandits on the road, the rest of the people will depend on you and your five slave soldiers to exterminate." Do you understand? ”
"Understood" Yang Renri also stood up and bowed to his promise.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the soldiers who had rested early were called by Yang Rentian, and the camp immediately became lively and noisy. The auxiliaries immediately served the regular soldiers in armor, and the armor designed by Yang Wenli was very easy to wear, as long as you found the right hole to put it in, and it was also very stable, and he designed six force points to distribute the weight to the shoulders, back and waist, so it was also very labor-saving.
A few minutes after "departure", Yang Rentian gave an order, and Yang Renyu led the team to lead the departure, followed by Yang Renzhouwu, Yang Renhuangwu, and the three of them were full Tuntian soldiers and were the main force of this operation.
Then there was the eleven army led by Yang Rendi, and then Yang Rentian led five slave soldiers to suppress the rear. In the end, it was Yang Renri who led the people to follow, and because the people were not trained, they were easy to expose the target, so they had to be far away.
At this time, it is the second half of the moon, the night is very thick, you have to be careful to see the ground, but it is also a good cover for the whereabouts of the team, Yang Wenli's army has good food and plenty of meat, so none of them have night blindness, and they can see the night road without torches.
When there were still two miles away from the Zhaimen, Yang Renyu, who was walking in the front, raised his hand and made a stop gesture, and then played a crawling hand, and then took the lead in crawling forward.
After arriving at the mile road, in order not to alarm the minions guarding the gate, the team crawled very slowly, like a snail. The more you get to the gate, the more careful you are, and you crawl for an hour just for the last mile.
At this time, it was already after midnight, but there were still minions patrolling the outer gate of the walled gate, and I don't know how many minions were inside the walled gate, and now the walled gate was closed, and the outside could not be attacked, Yang Renyu lay on his stomach and did not move, planning to wait for the bandits to change the guard, when the walled gate was opened, and then take the opportunity to rush into the walled gate, as long as the walled gate was captured, it was equivalent to a small half of the success.
Sure enough, after waiting for another hour, the bandits shouted a secret order to change shifts. Just as the gate of the fortress opened and a small group of bandits walked out of it and was ready to hand over the shift, Yang Rentian immediately jumped up, took the bow in his hand, and shot arrows from the quiver from behind.
"Chirp!" Yang Renyu shot three arrows in a row as he walked, and the slave soldiers who followed him also shot arrows, but they were not skilled enough in archery, and only shot one.
The eight arrows were all shot at the gate of the wall, and the bandits who were handing over at the gate immediately fell half, and the remaining half was far away from the gate of the wall, so they escaped for their lives, but only for a while, and in the next second, they were shot into a sieve by the Tuntian soldiers who followed behind.
